They also submitted details of new funding for the airline. Kingfisher's CEO Sanjay Aggarwal, said that initial funding to restart services (grounded by the country's authorities since December 2012, following a strike by employees including its pilots, over non-payment of wages) will come from parent company, United Breweries Group. The DGCA said it would examine the plan carefully before making a decision. It is understood the airline is planning to resume flying with limited services using five A320s and two ATR turboprops and gradually increase its fleet to 20 aircraft.
